=== Spells & magic ===

'''[[Affinity]]'''

<section begin="Affinity" />
'''Q:''' Does having an Affinity let a model cast spells?<br>
'''A:''' 🟢 No — casting needs both an Affinity and a [[Spellcraft]]. Affinity on its own is usually a vulnerability (and can deny certain interactions).

<section end="Affinity" />

'''[[Mystic]]'''

<section begin="Mystic" />
'''Q:''' How does a Mystic's casting stat work?<br>
'''A:''' 🟢 A Mystic uses Morale (M) to cast the spell only — not for damage (damage still uses the normal value, e.g. INT).

'''[[Enchanting]]'''

<section begin="Enchanting" />
'''Q:''' Are earlier Enchantment effects removed when I cast another enchantment on a different model?<br>
'''A:''' 🔵 No — enchantment effects persist and are removed at the start of the caster's next Strategic Phase (unless stated otherwise).

'''[[Electromancy]]'''

<section begin="Electromancy" />
'''Q:''' How do electric spells behave against targets in water, and what type are they?<br>
'''A:''' 🔵 They deal double damage against a target in an Aquatic environment (e.g. PW 10 → 20); with Ignore Armor that's effectively an auto-wound unless the target is protected by an enchantment. [[Everlasting Rains]]' attacks are sorceries, as all offensive spells are; the Electromancy STK discrepancy is an error — STK 2 is correct (errata).

'''[[Ignore Armor]]'''

<section begin="Ignore Armor" />
'''Q:''' Which protections stop "Ignore Armor"?<br>
'''A:''' 🔵 [[Arcane Shield]] nullifies the Ignore Armor rule of criticals (not a spell's inherent Ignore Armor). [[Warding Barrier]] and [[Protective Barrier]] protect against essentially everything. [[Seigen, of the Keshobarai|Seigen]] halves all spell damage dealt to him.

'''[[Confuse Target]]'''

<section begin="Confuse Target" />
'''Q:''' Does [[Mindgame]] deal damage — specifically Confuse Target, which has no PW?<br>
'''A:''' 🔵 No — Confuse Target deals no damage (confirmed as not intended to). A spell can only deal damage with a PW value; the Mindgame wording exists because some Mindgame spells do have PW.

'''[[Redirect Damage]]'''

<section begin="Redirect Damage" />
'''Q:''' How does Redirect Damage resolve?<br>
'''A:''' 🟢 It is not an enchantment; it's almost always a reactive attack against an activated enemy. If the Redirecting (reactive) model wins the confrontation, the opponent landed no successful Attack Rolls (negated by your Redirect roll); if it loses, the spell doesn't come into effect at all.

'''[[Ward]]'''

<section begin="Ward" />
'''Q:''' Ward vs Protective Ward, and how does Ward interact with a confrontation?<br>
'''A:''' 🔵 Protective Ward (Helian) is an Enchantment; Ward (Sand Kingdoms) is a sorcery usable as an Assist to help a targeted model. In a confrontation the roll resolves first: if the warded side wins, non-critical attacks against it are negated; if it loses, the Ward does nothing.
